They can sonically sound like me, but nobody's ever gonna be able to write songs like T-Pain. There's only one of those.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you write songs you have an idea how they're going to sound.
T Bone is genius. The way they've recorded my voice and the instrumentation to these songs is really quite extraordinary.
My vocal ability is very limited, but I'm fortunate in that I can write the songs around my vocal limitations.
I still don't know if I can write songs. I don't think anyone ever knows if they can write songs.
For the most part, I've been influenced by black singers and singers I couldn't sound like. Whenever I tried to do a dark note or a bent note, I would just sound like Hootie And The Blowfish.
I feel there must be an enormous amount of really talented songwriters out there who can't sing.
No, no, the songs write themselves, almost.
Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write.
But I'm tone deaf - window-shattering tone deaf. I can't sing for the life of me. I can't sing or dance, so no remake of 'Grease' for me!
I had to make different kinds of music for everybody but still keep it classic T-Pain at the same time.
